The following three features are needed for a successful parts marketplace and two of them are structural elements of Parts and thus guaranteed:
Legitimate listings - Buyers and Sellers are given access by invitation only
Current listings - Listings are removed at fixed times after upload (Capabilities 90 days, Parts 15 days, Wanted 48 hours)
Many listings - More than 1000 companies were invited at launch but Parts is very young and went
live in the middle of pandemic (17 July 2020) so it faces a "chicken or the egg" problem; companies need to see a large number of listings to
join but companies must first join in order to get a large number of listings... This is only a transient problem though, the exact same problem was
succesfully overcome before and MyAirTrade became the best marketplace for aircraft, engines and APUs!
Parts will eventually get "Many listings" but you can help do it faster and greatly improve your sourcing and promotion of Parts and
Capabilities. Simply ask friends and associates who work for companies that fulfil the below requirements to contact MyAirTrade and ask for an
invitation (strictly no intermediaries):
